Fix My Preamp vs. Buy Phono Stage


As I found out earlier, I have a problem with leaky caps in the phono stage of my preamp. I can either have the preamp repaired, or buy a separate phono stage. I do want to fix this annoying problem, I just don't want to spend lots of $$ to do it.

Also, since all the inputs, except phono, are quiet, can I just cannibalize caps from another input? I had a stroke about 6 years ago, so my coordination just aint what it used to be but I know my way around a soldering iron.

Thanks for your thoughts.
